ACI Worldwide Expands Payments Hub to Support Swift’s Blockchain Ledger
ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ:ACIW) has expanded its cloud-native payments hub, ACI Connetic, to support transactions processed via Swift's blockchain-based ledger. This integration allows banks to manage both tokenised deposit payments and traditional transactions within a single operating model using existing infrastructure, eliminating the need for separate operations dedicated solely to digital assets. Swift launched its blockchain ledger last year, with 17 pilot banks across six continents already testing it. The technology enables cross-border transfers of tokenised deposits beyond individual institutions and standard banking hours. ACI Connetic's automated routing system lets financial institutions manage payment speed, costs, and availability for both traditional and digital payments through a single integration. ACI will demonstrate the new functionality at Sibos on 30 September, showcasing how its platform supports Swift’s blockchain alongside existing systems.
